Finnish M/39 Bayonet

[Joe P]

Morning folks. From what I have read, the Finnish M/39 bayonets are quite rare; and when found, quite expensive. What would the going rate of an original example with it's original sheath? Thanks.

Semper Fi,

When they show up on eBay, the real ones will fetch +/- $250. You have to be really careful, since there are a lot of fakes out there. Some are easy to recognize (blued finish is fake), others are not.

Click "Fakes" and "Finnish M39" for info. I think this was written by 'Radom' years ago, but holds true.

Hi Joe P ! You must be careful! Finnish bayonets are rare, because their use was not in the mind of the Finns. Only few were marked [SA] and for sure the "blued" are fake. The bayonets were/are used almost only during the parades. A lot of fake is on the market and if you think, here in Europe, you can pay it around 350 Euros you can well understand why you must be careful.

Folks, thanks for the info.
